pain and pleasure(苦痛と快楽)

Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do.

『道徳および立法の諸原理序説』An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation ,Of The Principle of Utility

自然は、人間を、快楽と苦痛という二つの主権者の支配下に置いてきた。人に、何をすべきかを指示し、実際に何をするかを決めるのは、苦痛と快楽とだけである。(田井中善夫訳)
